Brooksher plays Kelly, a young therapist whose husband dies while on military duty in Iraq. A year later, her husband’s identical twin brother (Schreiber) arrives at Kelly's door, looking for answers to questions about his brother’s death.

His screen credits include the films "The Lords of Dogtown," "The Manchurian Candidate," "Into the Fire," "The Mudge Boy" and "Invitation to a Suicide" and the HBO television show “The Wire.”

Shinn's plays include Four, Where Do We Live, What Didn’t Happen, The Coming World and Other People. MacDonald's credits include Caryl Churchill’s A Number at New York Theatre Workshop.
